Starting this morning at 8 a.m., my home phone was ringing about every 30 minutes with a 1-800 number. Since getting caller ID, we don't usually answer those, but after getting a message on the answering machine that it was the fraud department at Discover card, I decided to answer it and find out what it was all about.
I was skeptical, as usually these calls are about selling us some kind of insurance to protect the card. However, it was not that trivial. Someone got a hold of our credit card number and made several erroneous charges over the weekend. We haven't used this card for about 2 years and are attempting to pay it off. The company immediately closed the account and cancelled the charges, but it is so frightening because whoever did this probably hacked into the company's computer and randomly chose us.
Very scary stuff!!!
